How to play You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC on guitar

This song is a classic for a reason - it feels big, bright, and instantly recognizable, and the driving groove makes it fun to play even at a steady tempo. If you like tight, energetic rhythm parts, this one gives you a great workout without feeling overly complicated.

You can lean on open shapes for most of it: D, G, C, and Dm are all available, while Bm is the harder barre shape if it shows up later. The main thing to watch is the opening move from D to G to C back to D, since that change needs to stay clean and even.

Start by looping that opening progression slowly until your changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in short sections, keeping your strums relaxed and consistent. Once the chord switches are smooth, bring it up toward the full tempo and focus on staying locked in.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
